List of supermarkets in Austria
history
Supermarkets emerged in the early 1950s with the then new and still unusual concept of self-service . The first self-service supermarket in Austria was KONSUM , which opened in Linz on May 27, 1950 .
Karl Wlaschek founded a perfumery in Vienna-Margareten in 1953 and sold branded items at discount prices. He later transferred this concept to the food sector and also adopted the self-service principle. From 1961, Karl Wlaschek's stores were renamed BILLA.
In 1954, Hans F. Reisch founded the trade association SPAR Tirol / Pinzgau. Around a hundred independent merchants came together and gradually more and more Spar stores emerged. Spar has been represented throughout Austria since 1959.
